You could also print your own stickers or decals (on white or clear) with

True, I should also mention that most sign shops carry a wide selection of
vinyl decal sheet. This stuff is thinner then electrical tape, and has less
shinkage. I’ve also used liner tape. Commonally avalible in 1/8” and 1/4”,
which is extremly close to 1 or 2 plate hight. It’s avalible at most R/C
shops and automotive detailing shops.

Maybe it’s just me, but I am planning to do mine (if and when, not going to
preannounce anything!) in black. I’m not seeing this color difference as huge
enough to warrant using tape or paint.
It is like those Thornton trucks... build post ... nice work but not LEGO. (I mean,I think the cement mixer is some
part he got somewhere although I’d be happy to be wrong, and there sure seems to
be a lot of tape there)
I’m too purist sometimes, I guess.
